Brett Kenny and Eric Grothe senior for me.

They tended to display glimpses of their abilities, but generally for big matches and big moments. it always seemed that the things they did, only they could do.

Mark Waugh is the only sportsman I have seen who reminds me of kenny's effortless, brilliant grace when doing the impossible. Funnily enough Eric Grothe (jr) is the only one I have seen reminiscent of Eric Grothe (sr)...

1. VIV RICHARDS - everything to him was like SLOW MOTION
2. Do you think Jr is Sr son? They are almost CLONES !!!

Neil Hunt - you know, it wasnt a sidestep as such - he still walks that way today.

(Edited to put into HJ's effective naming style:

Golden Era - Brett Kenny, but loved them all (still get 6 on the back of footy tops because of Kenny
Dark Ages - David Woods, Lee Oudenryn (1992-1993), Garren Casey for two matches.
Renaissance - Dean Pay, Jim Dymock, Stuart Kelly
Modern Era - Hindmarsh

All time - Brett Kenny.

I used to love Jaime Lyon, having seen him come up trhough the ranks in the juniors, only for him to betray the club. Now my least favourite player by far.

 

[hineyrulz]

Past - Sterlo just ahead of Bert

Present - It can only be Hindy


But Hindy is my fav Eel of all time, hopefully he can win a comp for us before he retires.

Dark Ages - David Woods,Michael Erickson 9special mention to Greg Drake).
Renaissance - Jamie Lyon, Hindy

Someone who i also liked as a kid was Chris King.

 

[benkustosgrandmother]

Big Solo or Mark Tookey used to rock the house.

That Dean Widders step was also a hit.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Greg Drake

Chris King.

Both Drake and King made the eWo Greatest Eels Team. Drakey could only scrape in on the bench, however.
